  • Publication number: 20240283419
    Abstract: This application describes apparatus and method for transimpedance gain control. A transimpedance amplifier circuit is described with a transimpedance amplifier having an input node for receiving an input current. A variable shunt resistance is connected to the input node and a controller is operable to controllably vary an open-loop transimpedance gain of the transimpedance amplifier and also the resistance of the variable shunt resistance so as to vary a closed-loop transimpedance gain of the transimpedance amplifier.

  • Patent number: 10567701
    Abstract: A script synchronization interface system is disclosed for synchronizing a script, shot properties, and one or more video files by mapping associated metadata. The script synchronization interface system includes an interactive script section, an interactive video section, and an interactive shot section. The interactive script section includes synchronized script dialog that is selectable by an individual word linked to a video frame and a combination of “shot set-up” and “take” information associated with the selected word in the script dialog. The interactive video section includes a video player that plays a synchronized video. The synchronized video is linked to synchronized script dialog in the interactive script section and a combination of “shot set-up” and “take” information associated with the selected word in the script dialog. An interactive shot section may also be included that contains selectable vertical line segments, on-screen actor information, shot set-up information, and take numbers.

  • Publication number: 20190376963
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for an enhanced detection of an analyte present in a biological sample. After the formation of the analyte/specific binding member(s)/detectable label complex, the labels are eluted and a first aliquot of eluant is brought into contact with a solid support, wherein the solid support comprises immobilized thereto specific binding member that specifically binds to the label, removing the first aliquot from the solid support and contacting the solid support with a second aliquot of the eluted label, and repeating the above steps, such that the label is concentrated on the solid support for further analysis to quantify the analyte in the biological sample.
